PROCEEDINGS FOR 1907 VII 
8.—MEETING OF METEOROLOGISTS. 
At the last meeting, the important subject of a proposed meeting 
of Imperial and Colonial meteorologists in connection with the annual 
meeting of the Royal Society of Canada, was discussed, and Mr. Stu- 
part, of Section III, was requested to correspond with the leading officials 
of the various governments engaged in meteorological work, with a view 
of settling the most suitable place and time for meeting and the ques- 
tions to be discussed. A large amount of correspondence has been 
carried on by Mr. Stupart, and the project has received the hearty 
sanction and co-operation of the Right Honourable the Prime Minister 
and the Honourable the Minister of Marine and Fisheries. The Coun- 
cil now refers this matter to Section III for final recommendations as 
to the time and place of this important conference. 
9.—HIsToRICAL LANDMARKS. 
A subject which has always been of keen interest to the members 
of the Royal Society, has been the preservation of such historical land- 
marks as are still to be found in different parts of the country. During 
the past year steps have been taken in an endeavour to preserve from 
destruction the Old Fort in Toronto, and in furtherance of the avowed 
policy of the Royal Society, the Historical Landmarks Associations of 
the country have been invited through Section II to send representatives 
to a meeting which is to be held on Wednesday next, May 15th, at 
such an hour as shall be found most convenient, for the purpose of 
forming in connection with and under the auspices of the Royal Society, 
an Historical Landmarks Association for the preservation of historical 
landmarks throughout the Dominion. 
10.—INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS OF AMERICANISTS. 
This important historical society held its fifteenth biennial meeting 
in the Legislative Buildings at Quebec, beginning on the 10th September 
last, and closing on the 21st of the same month. It is said that the 
Quebec meeting was one of the most successful of the learned gatherings 
yet held under the auspices of this organization, which was founded in 
1875 by the Societé Américaine de France, and was meant to be an 
enlargement of that body, and therefore was named the Congres Inter- 
national des Américanistes. The first meeting was held in Nancy iu 
1875, and the Congress has met biennially ever since. The delegates 
from the Royal Society were Monsignor J. C. K. Laflamme and Messrs. 
the Honourable Pascal Poirier, the Abbé Roy, the Honourable Thomas 
Chapais and Ernest Gagnon. The social aspect of the mecting was
